    Cybernetics is the study of methods of feedback control within a system, especially the flow of information through 

    • A.

      Computers

    • B.

      Feedback loops

    • C.

      Machines

    • D.

      Complex systems

    Correct Answer
    B. Feedback loops
    Explanation
    Cybernetics is the study of methods of feedback control within a system. Feedback loops are an essential aspect of cybernetics as they allow for the flow of information within a system. These loops enable the system to receive input, process it, and produce an output based on that input. By studying feedback loops, cybernetics aims to understand how systems can be controlled and regulated effectively. Therefore, the correct answer is feedback loops.

  • 3. 

    The origin of the term cybernetics means?

    • A.

      Transformer

    • B.

      Steersman

    • C.

      Mathematician

    • D.

      Information processing

    Correct Answer
    B. Steersman
    Explanation
    The term "cybernetics" originates from the Greek word "kybernetes," which means "steersman" or "pilot." This term was chosen by mathematician Norbert Wiener to describe the interdisciplinary field that deals with control and communication in both living organisms and machines. Just as a steersman guides and controls the direction of a ship, cybernetics focuses on understanding and controlling systems, whether they are biological, mechanical, or informational, to achieve desired outcomes.

  • 4. 

    The Macy Conferences made an important breakthrough by providing a new and exciting epistemology for conceptualising how systems retain their stabiity through?

    • A.

      Self regulation

    • B.

      Past performance

    • C.

      Future performance

    • D.

      Preprogrammed goal

    Correct Answer
    A. Self regulation
    Explanation
    The Macy Conferences introduced a significant advancement by proposing the concept of self-regulation as a means for understanding how systems maintain stability. This suggests that systems have the ability to regulate themselves and maintain their equilibrium without external intervention. This idea challenges the traditional belief that stability is achieved through past or future performance or by following preprogrammed goals. Instead, self-regulation implies that systems have inherent mechanisms that allow them to adapt and adjust internally to maintain stability.

    Reciprocal Determinism shifts attention from?

    • A.

      Historical facts to current problems

    • B.

      Relationship outlook to environmental outlook

    • C.

      Content to process

    • D.

      Fiction to fact

    Correct Answer
    C. Content to process
    Explanation
    Reciprocal determinism is a concept in psychology that suggests that a person's behavior is influenced by both their personal characteristics and the environment in which they interact. The correct answer, "content to process," refers to a shift in focus from the specific content of a person's behavior to the underlying processes that drive that behavior. This means that instead of solely examining what a person is doing, reciprocal determinism encourages the examination of why they are doing it and the various factors that contribute to their behavior.

    Rate this question:

    Content is the language of Linear causality - the view that one event causes the next in unidirectional....?

    • A.

      Stimulus response fashion

    • B.

      Family interactional patterns

    • C.

      Human relationships

    • D.

      Feedback loops

    Correct Answer
    A. Stimulus response fashion
    Explanation
    The correct answer is stimulus response fashion. This answer aligns with the concept of linear causality, which suggests that one event (stimulus) leads to a specific response. In this context, content can be seen as the language that follows a linear cause-and-effect pattern, where each event triggers the next one in a unidirectional manner.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    If content is the language of linear causality, process is the language of ?

    • A.

      First order cybernetics

    • B.

      Systems implications

    • C.

      Interpersonal events

    • D.

      Circular causality

    Correct Answer
    D. Circular causality
    Explanation
    Circular causality refers to a concept in which cause and effect are seen as interconnected and mutually influencing each other in a continuous loop. It suggests that events and actions are not linear but rather circular, with each action having both a cause and an effect. In the context of the question, if content is the language of linear causality, then process, which implies circular causality, would be the language that describes the interconnected and mutually influencing nature of events and actions.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    Circular causality is defined as; forces moving in many directions simultaneously, not simply a single event caused by a previous one. Example, within a family, any action by one member affects all other members and the family as a whole; each members response in turn prompts other responses that affect all other members, whose further reactions provoke still other responses, and so forth. such a reverberating efect in turn affects the first person in a continuous series of circular loops or recurring chains of influence. 

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Circular causality refers to a situation where multiple forces or events interact with each other in a continuous loop, rather than a linear cause and effect relationship. In the context of a family, this means that any action by one family member will have an impact on all other members, and their responses will in turn affect the initial person, creating a chain of influence. This concept highlights the interconnectedness and interdependence within a family system. Therefore, the given answer, "true," accurately reflects the definition of circular causality.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    Family processes affect individual behaviour, and individuals within the family system affect family processes, in a recursive manner.  Within the family context, every action provokes a circular sequence that in turn helps change the 

    • A.

      Individual behaviour

    • B.

      Family functioning

    • C.

      Original action

    • D.

      Defiant adolescence

    Correct Answer
    C. Original action
    Explanation
    Family processes and individual behavior have a reciprocal relationship, meaning that they both influence and are influenced by each other. This means that any action taken within the family system can set off a circular sequence of events that ultimately leads to changes in individual behavior. Therefore, the original action is the correct answer as it initiates this process of reciprocal influence within the family context.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    Change requires altering the process NOT?

    • A.

      Discovering the culprit.

    • B.

      Blaming the family

    • C.

      Scrutinising the history

    • D.

      Blaming the therapist

    Correct Answer
    A. Discovering the culprit.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "discovering the culprit" because the statement is discussing the concept of change and how it requires altering the process. Discovering the culprit is not related to changing a process, but rather to finding someone responsible for a certain action or event. Therefore, it is not a relevant option in the context of the statement.

      All of the above

    • E.

      None of the above

    • F.

      Both B and C

    • G.

      Both A and B

    Correct Answer
    G. Both A and B
    Explanation
    The appearance of functional or dysfunctional patterns in a family system is governed by both the underlying organizational structure and the flexibility in responding to changing conditions throughout the life cycle. The organizational structure of a family system sets the foundation for how the family functions and interacts with one another. Flexibility in responding to changing conditions allows the family to adapt and adjust to various challenges and transitions that occur throughout their life cycle. Both of these factors play a significant role in shaping the patterns and dynamics within a family system.

    According to Structural Family Therapy, what needs to happen before an individual's symptoms can be reduced or extinguished?

    • A.

      The culprit must be identified

    • B.

      Structural changes must occur

    • C.

      A DSM diagnosis must be presented to the client

    • D.

      Limits to confidentiality and a payment plan must be discussed

    Correct Answer
    B. Structural changes must occur
    Explanation
    In Structural Family Therapy, it is believed that before an individual's symptoms can be reduced or extinguished, structural changes must occur. This means that the family system and its dynamics need to be addressed and modified in order to create a healthier environment for the individual. By making changes to the family structure and interactions, it is believed that the individual's symptoms will naturally decrease. This approach focuses on the importance of understanding and addressing the underlying systemic issues rather than solely focusing on the individual's symptoms.

    According to Structural Family Therapy, familes need some form of internal organisation that dictates how, when, and to whom to relate. 

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Structural Family Therapy emphasizes the importance of clear roles, boundaries, and hierarchies within a family system. This internal organization helps family members understand their roles and responsibilities, as well as how to interact with each other. It provides a framework for effective communication and problem-solving within the family. Therefore, it is true that families need some form of internal organization to determine how, when, and with whom they should relate.

    The structure of the family represents the sum of the operational rules the family has evolved for carrying out its important functions. 

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because the structure of a family refers to the way in which the family organizes and carries out its important functions. These functions can include things like communication, decision-making, and roles within the family. Over time, families develop their own set of rules and patterns to effectively fulfill these functions. Therefore, the structure of the family is indeed the sum of the operational rules that the family has evolved.

    • A.

      Resistant to change

    • B.

      Unlikely to change until a family's changing circumstances cause tensions and imbalances within the system

    • C.

      Can only change with effective communication

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Resistant to change
    B. Unlikely to change until a family's changing circumstances cause tensions and imbalances within the system
    Explanation
    Transactional patterns in a family refer to the habitual ways in which family members interact and communicate with each other. These patterns are often deeply ingrained and resistant to change, meaning that they tend to persist over time. However, these patterns are also unlikely to change unless there are significant changes in the family's circumstances that create tensions and imbalances within the system. In other words, it takes a disruption or a crisis within the family for the transactional patterns to be challenged and potentially change. Effective communication is necessary for facilitating this change, but it alone cannot bring about a shift in the transactional patterns.

    The ideas of MRI comes largely from systems theory, cybernetic and information theory. 

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) technology is based on the principles of systems theory, cybernetics, and information theory. Systems theory helps in understanding the complex interactions within the human body and how different systems work together. Cybernetics focuses on feedback mechanisms and control systems, which are essential for the functioning of MRI machines. Information theory deals with the encoding, transmission, and decoding of information, which is fundamental to the data acquisition and image reconstruction process in MRI. Therefore, the ideas behind MRI do indeed draw heavily from these theories.

    If it is a relationship based on equality the interactive patterns is symmetrical. 

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    If a relationship is based on equality, it means that both parties involved have equal power, influence, and decision-making abilities. In such a scenario, the interactive patterns between them would be symmetrical, meaning that both individuals would have equal opportunities to initiate, respond, and maintain the communication within the relationship. Therefore, the statement "If it is a relationship based on equality, the interactive patterns are symmetrical" is true.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    If a relationship is based on oppositional exchange, it means that the individuals involved in the relationship engage in a pattern of exchanging opposing or contrasting behaviors, ideas, or actions. This creates a complementary pattern where each person complements or balances out the other by providing the opposite perspective or behavior. Therefore, the statement "if a relationship is based on oppositional exchange the pattern is complementary" is true.

    Two conditions must be present for a paradoxical injunction exist: 1 the participants must have a close complementary relationship and 2) the recipient of the injunction cannot sidesteop or otherwise avoid responing to the communicaiton or metacommuniction. 

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    A paradoxical injunction occurs when two conditions are met: 1) the participants have a close complementary relationship, and 2) the recipient of the injunction cannot avoid responding to the communication or metacommunication. In other words, for a paradoxical injunction to exist, there must be a close relationship between the participants, and the recipient must be unable to ignore or avoid the communication. This statement is true as it accurately describes the necessary conditions for a paradoxical injunction to occur.

    Structuralists contend that all well-functioning families should be...

    • A.

      Hierarchically organised

    • B.

      Complimentarity of functions

    • C.

      Symmetry of functions

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Hierarchically organised
    B. Complimentarity of functions
    Explanation
    The correct answer is hierarchically organized and complimentarity of functions. Structuralists believe that in a well-functioning family, there should be a clear hierarchical structure where each member has a specific role and position.
